Unseen Graphics

Sprite 180 (Sprite 189 in the 2005 revision and Sprite 194 in the original release) is supposedly a sound effect player, placed above the game screen.

Timer Object

Frame 1	Frame 4

Sprite 160 (Sprite 173 in the 2005 revision and Sprite 178 in the original release) contains a timer manipulator of some sorts, placed above the screen. It cannot be interacted with due to a border overlay covering it.

The first two frames are of a text box containing the number "120" ("300" in the 2005 release and prior) by default. It determines the length of the game, in seconds, and it can be edited. Starting from the fourth frame, the text box vanishes, and several objects and text appear:

• A "total time" text, which shows the number of seconds chosen from the text box.
• A "time so far" text, which displays how many seconds were depleted.
• A blue bar, whose function is to show how much of the original time remains. The "% remains" text below this bar is a text representation of it.
• A blue button, whose function is to reset the timer.

Additionally, the "time left" information, which is visible in-game, is also added.

Revisional Differences

Three known versions of the game exist, one released in 2003, another in 2005, and yet another in 2010.

Ultimate Arcade Logo

2003	2005	2010

• The Ultimate Arcade logo's appearance changed - going from a sprite composed of many vector shapes in the original release to a lossy JPEG-quality picture in the 2005 revision. Additionally, the logo was made bigger in the 2010 release.
• A shiny effect was added to the logo when it appears in-game.
• The "presents" text is in a different font and no longer moves.

In-Game/Main Menu

2003	2005	2010

• From the 2003 version to the 2005 version, the border surrounding the game screen was changed from white to black, and was made more properly centered. The 2010 release made the border white again, and roundened the corners.
• The main menu was nearly completely redesigned in the 2010 release, with some of the changes being in the position of the good/bad food indicators, and the position of Bob's silhouette.
• Sounds no longer play when highlighting the menu options.

Gameplay

2003	2005	2010

• A gradient was added to the gameplay background in the 2005 release, but it was removed in the 2010 version.
• Some of the clouds' positions were changed slightly between releases.
• The default timer for the game was reduced in the 2010 release, from 300 seconds to 120 seconds.
• The timer/score numbers were made white in the 2010 release.
• In the 2010 release, Bob no longer grunts when jumping.

Results Screen

2005	2010

• As with the Main Menu, the results screen was also redesigned in the 2010 release.
• Sounds no longer play when highlighting the menu options.
• In the 2010 release, the "Play Again" button redirects the player to the gameplay screen, instead of the title screen like in the previous versions.
